Exhibition "Twenty Years of Development of the Library Information System" |
(Opening on Tuesday 9 November at 16.30) |
In connection with the preparations for the new building, Univerzitetna knji¾nica Maribor (the Maribor University Library) in 1984
invited Računalni¹ki center Univerze v Mariboru (the Computer Centre of the University of Maribor) to help it – through the use of
the modern IT – overcome the difficulties resulting from rather time-consuming procedures of material circulation.
Through systematic work, the automation of library functions as well as setting up a library information system began.
After 1990, the group of the key members intensively involved in the project transformed under a new organisational form into Institut informacijskih
znanosti (Information Science Institute) with the seat in Maribor.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary, an exhibition will be prepared to remind people of the path made and of the achievements
which offer support to users and of which IZUM can be rightfully proud of. The exhibition will open at the Habakuk Convention Centre
on Tuesday 9 November just before the beginning of the Conference.
From 15 November onwards, the exhibition is held at IZUM.

COBISS 2004 Conference will close on Thursday 11 November on St. Martin's Day known also as Martinmas. It is so natural for the Maribor
people to make this day an important holiday, in particular as the city surrounded by vine-covered hills can boast the 400-year-old vine,
the oldest growing vine in the world, and a hundreds of years old tradition of wine trade. The Conference will close in a spirit of
celebration, bringing all the participants together for the feast and a traditional custom called "the baptism of wine".
Do not miss the opportunity to get acquainted with this interesting old custom that is well worth remembering especially as Saint Martin
was actually born in this part of the world; geese which, according to the legend, accompany him are of French origin.

Conference participants from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro are invited to attend the presentation on:
- authority control in the COBISS.SI system and
- COBISS3 software
which will be held on Friday 12 November 2004 in IZUM.
